Mercury detox: NBMI as a safe and non-toxic heavy metal chelator

Mercury toxicity is a big issue when it comes to anxiety and a host of other health issues. Detoxification of mercury can be a complex process and is often controversial. Professor Boyd Haley’s interview on the Heavy Metals Summit (airs online Jan 29 to Feb 5, 2018) addresses all this so well and shares some cutting-edge information. I was really quite blown away with this interview and highly recommend tuning in.

Effective Mercury Detoxification Strategies is covered by Professor Haley, a researcher I have been following for years. He is interviewed by one of the summit hosts, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt who asks brilliant questions. Be prepared for deep questions and some pretty technical feedback.

Professor Haley shares this about mercury amalgams in the mouth and iron that is displaced:

mercury vapor can penetrate any part of the body it wants. Mercury would rather be in fatty tissues, and that makes the brain a prime target. Plus, you can take it in through the axonal nerves… from the nasal cavity up into the brain. And if you breathe it, it gets into the body and it travels, basically penetrating every cell or any membrane.

When mercury is converted from Hg0 [elemental mercury] to Hg2+ [inorganic mercury] it displaces iron from iron sulfur centers in the brain. And that iron is now free, and iron is a very potent oxidative stress inducer…that’s associated with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological illnesses [such as anxiety].

He talks about the synergistic effect of aluminum and mercury, and offers that the DMPS challenge test does show mercury body burden but isn’t good enough for reducing body burden, and that both DMPS and DMSA can make some people sicker and affect their kidneys. This has always been one of my concerns with this approach. I shared how I reacted badly to DMPS in my anxiety summit interview with Dr. John Dempster.

Professor Haley then shares how he set out to find a safe and non-toxic heavy metal chelator that would cross the blood-brain barrier, get inside the cells and bind the mercury. The compound was initially sold as an antioxidant (as OSR), is now called NBMI and is in phase 2 clinical trials:

It was sold for a long time, and called OSR, Oxidative Stress Relief. And now, it’s called NBMI…it takes a carboxybenzoate which is found in berries and couples to the carboxyl groups cystamine which is cysteine without the carboxyl group. And when you do that, you neutralize both of the charges, and you make an uncharged compound that has two sulfurs off two arms that can surround a mercury atom or any atom of any size.

And that compound is what we’re working on today. We’re now going into phase two studies. When we gave it to humans in a phase one study, the safety and pharmacokinetics, it was 60-80% absorbed into the blood. And we didn’t have one single adverse effect reported. It is the same thing we had when we sold it as a dietary antioxidant – this compound not only does it bind mercury, it is a very potent oxygen-radical scavenger, just like glutathione.

As of now this compound is only available in Switzerland and chelates any metal that binds sulfur – like mercury, lead, iron, cadmium, copper – all of which can increase anxiety when levels are high.

Dr. Klinghardt has been using it with success and feels Professor Haley deserves the Nobel Prize for his work! This is so promising because as you’ll hear in Dr. Klinghardt’s interview: Biophysics of Heavy Metal Detox (don’t miss this one either) heavy metal toxicity is at the root of most illnesses:

I found over the years that decreasing the body burden off metals, especially aluminum, lead, and mercury – if you can get that down – there is a point when we have been effective where all the vitality comes back.

I am so excited to share more as I learn more.

A good complement to the above two interviews is co-host, Dr. Christine Shaffer’s interview on Metal Allergies and Detoxing the Brain, where she shares much of what makes a detox successful. The discussion on how to get the brain’s glymphatic system working well is fascinating: sleep, melatonin (liposomal) and even GABA (also liposomal), looking at the vagus nerve and much more.

Wendy Myers, Christine Schaffner, ND, and Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD, have spent the last few months gathering the right experts, information and protocols to help you understand the danger of heavy metals like copper, mercury, lead, cadmium and others, and what to do about them.

Every day, they help their patients regain health, in some part through heavy metal detoxification. People with incorrect diagnoses of multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression, insomnia, or thyroid issues, just to name a few, have found relief through innovative and individualized protocols to reduce the burden of heavy metals.

Glutathione should NOT be used by ANYONE for Heavy Metal removal, not only is it ineffective it will damage many people because it makes a WEAK bond with Mercury, I am sorry if you are yet another victim of the ignorant people who promote Glutathione like Wendy Myers, Shady and pretty much all of Functional Medicine and Naturopathic Medicine.

I use glutathione successfully
I have found it a life saver in my detox regime
I think you have to be careful what brand of glutathione you use And introduce it very slowly
But for me it’s been fantastic

NBMI is in clinical trials and Dr. Boyd shared it’s only available via prescription in Switzerland right now. I’m hoping this will change soon. I can’t answer the glutathione question but can just share what Dr. Boyd shared about NBMI: “we didn’t have one single adverse effect reported.” This is why I’m so excited about it.

Would you care to share what reactions you had to glutathione? and if you know you have heavy metal toxicity and which metals?

He cognitive abilities improved, social communication improved and we only had him on it 5 months before iit was pulled. Is it available Internationally? We heard about it through our DAN doctor. Stuart Friedenfeld out of NJ. He speaks at many Autism conferences.

I have chronic Morgellons I also have a mouthful of mercury fillings sadly I’ve spent my life savings seeing private doctors and not one has helped I truly believe Morgellons to be a reaction or build up of toxins such as aluminium chemtrails soaking into the body then reacting with the mercury that’s been in my body for years 🙁 I would be eternally grateful if this Nbmi was prescribed for me I’ve tried everything to rid this from my skin & body but I’m riddled.
How much is this stuff maybe he could clinically trial it on me I would make an ideal lab rat considering how destroyed my skin is & the horrendous brain fog I suffer.

Feel free to PM me on my Facebook.

Hi Trudy,
How can I get some help and contact a doctor in Switzerland to have NBMI prescribed for me?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated. I live in New York and I guess getting it in the US is much harder if not impossible. I need it for mercury toxicity.
Thank you.

Olive and anyone else that might see this, just to clarify what Trudy noted below because as it is not clear in her post, Boyd said that, “and we didn’t have one single adverse effect reported”, this is in regards to NBMI, NOT Glutathione (see the text in article above).

Boyd is VERY aware that Glutathione has only ONE thiol component and is a very WEAK chelator, and this is why people get damaged ALL THE TIME! You can bet they WON’T be talking about this on the Summit….haha. Oh no, Glutathione is the bodies Master Antioxidant, it is needed for Metal Detox, yada yada yada. Basic chemistry folks, of course it took a PHD Chemist to point out this MAJOR fly in the ointment, and how flawed the studies using it truly are. Then once you see a newly damaged person every week, you truly realize just how bad of an idea this really is. Some people do not recover from the damage, some do it can take months. Neuropathy is common, anxiety through the roof, crazy bad fatigue, pain everywhere, the list goes on it moves around a crap load of metal when done in an IV, so damages done can produce any number of metal symptoms.

Hi Jason, you are very passionate and knowledgeable about this topic. Filtering through the literature is daunting. I have concerns with heavy metal detox protocols interacting with the increase exposure to EMF’s, which exacerbate the problem. Do you have suggestions or recommendations for heavy metal detoxification purposes?

Trudy, thank you for creating space for all dialog related to heavy metal detoxification. I too have seen people end up with more health complications (kidney & eye issues) after someone initiated detox protocols on them.

JD
EMF/ELF and microwave comes up a lot in the summit – don’t miss Mercola’s talk! He shared how all this can make matters worse and has some simple approaches like turning off power in the bedroom at night! This was new to me and a brilliant approach!

Would you please share what detox protocols you’ve seen that have caused problems?

Hi JD. Thank you it has been a very long road for me with many challenges, I have seen and learned so much over the last 10 years and seen so many people suffering that I feel compelled to continue to raise awareness on these types of issues.

You are wise to be concerned about chelation and EMF’s, because for some people chelation makes EMF sensitivity worse, in the short term (and then there are many more who have the issue and are not even aware of it….). There are many many considerations and complexities here and individual considerations that need to be accounted for that it really is beyond the scope of a forum like this.

As you likely know already, avoidance is the most important strategy when it comes to EMF’s, the best quick advice I can give is that and to chelate slowly and safely with a proper protocol that uses strong chelators only while taking them on their half-life to keep blood levels up (minimizing redistribution) while giving the Adrenals adequate support, these 3 are critical.

I disagree
Glutathione needs to be taken with many binders .
The mistake people make is that they do not take the correct binders when using glutathione.
I am very toxic with heavy metals and using glutathione daily has been a key part in getting to where I am today healthwise.
The glutathione system becomes depleted and there’s no way to get these metals out of the body with a depleted glutathione system. This is why NBMI works as it upregulates the glutathione system while also chelating the metals out with a super strong bond to the metals, so they are removed effectively.
It uses the very same P450 glutathione system to remove the metals so works really well to do some of the Quicksilver supplements along side taking it.

Dear Trudy,
Thank you. This is very interesting, I never knew about NMBI until now. Great to know there are safer options out there.
There are many protocols out there, so many claiming to be the only one you can chelate safely with, which makes matters even more frustrating and scary for those who are already scared of the whole process to begin with!!!
My question is about thiol intolerance- there is one protocol out there that says that this is due to mercury and the liver not being able to process thiols effectively making the mercury bounce around but not be able to make its way out of the body. The solution is to chelate and the problem will go away.

I am curious if you might know about this? I have thiol intolerance and don’t believe I have mercury. This is different then have a gluten intolerance or similar reactions to food.

Trudy great write up! So happy you are learning so much more about this very unfortunate and extremely common root cause to so many people’s problems.

Please remember WHY you had a bad reaction to DMPS, you did a challenge test where they give you a VERY LARGE dose of DMPS or DMSA all at once. NO ONE should do this test, not only is it NOT informative (everyone has some level of metals in them, so will very likely test positive, and it does not show what is stored in the brain, organs or cells where most of it is) but it damages MANY people because it very simply mobilizes too much metal all at one time! That is so simple, yet Naturopaths and Functional Docs damage people this way ALL THE TIME with this dangerous flawed test because that is what they were taught out of ignorance of not knowing a better way (it IS very tricky to test for).

No one, no matter WHAT chelator they are using, should mobilize a LOT of metal all at one time. Many people have died, and many more have been injured, sometimes permanently. It makes NO sense at all, the body can not handle a bunch of metal roaming around especially once the half life kicks in and the person is basically re-poisoned, only this time will a very large dose all at once.

Unfortunately the Summit will be full of this very BAD type of info, Klinghart for example, still uses DMPS IV and damages people all the time, then blames Lyme and other factors, one of his victims is my client, this poor soul also did EDTA IV and it very nearly killed him. Myers who is holding the summit is basically a Klinghart wanna-be, Pompa took Culter’s system the one that made him better and made it more dangerous less effective and super expensive, Shady uses ineffective chelators, and ALL of these people and ALL of the “good Docs” ignore basic chemistry and use many single thiol weak chelators and ignore the half-life of all chelators they use which is a recipe for disaster. Many get lucky it is true, and these VERY poor methods combined with other healing things they are doing manage to help them get mostly better, many others who are more poisoned do NOT get lucky and end up worse and/or damaged, I see new ones all the time it is so unfortunate.

Hi Jason
Thanks for contributing to the discussion. I know you feel very strongly about this topic and would request that your posts “respectfully disagree” with certain approaches practitioners use, rather than insulting well-meaning and caring practitioners. I too have concerns about many of the chelation approaches, because even though many people do really well some people do get worse. I wish there was a way to test how people are going to respond before starting chelation. It’s my concerns that lead me to write today’s blog in order to share this information about this new chelation agent.

I did ask Wendy if Andrew Cutler was going to be interviewed and was informed he had recently passed away. I was very sad to hear this. I would have enjoyed hearing Wendy, Dr. Shaffer, Dr Klinghardt and Dr. Boyd discussing the pros and cons of the various chelation approaches with Andrew Cutler.

Hi Trudy. No insults were necessary, I only spoke the truth and simple facts, these well-meaning practitioners are ignoring simple chemistry out of ignorance and damage people all the time, no insults there. Most of them really do mean well (not all of them) and are just doing what they were taught, which unfortunately was based on HEAVILY flawed studies. What I tell people all the time is that these are really good Doctors EXCEPT when it comes to heavy metals, and to ignore all advice regarding that and to check ALL supplements recommended with a 3rd source who DOES fully understand Metals.

There is no need for a test that will predict how someone will react to a poorly designed chelation protocol, since a MUCH safer and effective protocol exists that does not ignore basic chemistry, and does NOT move a TON of metal around all at once, which really is just common sense. Anyone that thinks moving a lot of metal around all at once is okay, should NOT be practicing medicine and have their license taken away, that really is not only ignorance but pure stupidity, and then to deny that their treatment damaged the person is just a slap in the face to the now damaged person. I have many more things I could say about this, as I see newly damaged people EVERY WEEK, and unlike them, I understand what is going on and emphasize with them greatly.

Yes unfortunately the World’s true expert on Heavy Metals is no longer with us. I will tell you that he would not be caught even dead in the same room with those other people, because he feels the same way I do about them and was never tried to hide his true feelings, seeing people getting damaged OVER and OVER again over the last 20 years made him angry to no end, and rightly so since it was unnecessary. Andy was very adamant there was only one logical way to chelate that made any sense at all once someone understand the chemistry and bio-chemistry involved, and he is dead right about it, we see the proof every day in the Facebook Group which now has 37K members.

Jason
I have great respect for Andy Cutler and his work. He is acknowledged in the summit by a number of speakers, all of them saying they feel we have more at our disposal to support metal toxic individuals. I encourage you to sign up and listen and ask questions and sharing your experiences with the Cutler protocol. As I mentioned I would have loved to hear a good discussion on this approach.

As I said to Karin I’ve also been pouring through the transcripts and there is so much info on support for mercury toxicity and the detox: saunas, broccoli sprouts (due to glutathione boost from sulforaphane), reducing EMF/ELF and microwave exposure, eating organic (to minimize GMO/glyphosate effects on leaky gut and leaky BBB), addressing low zinc/selenium, supporting methylation, supporting the liver and increasing bile production, addressing low stomach acid (needed for bile production and absorption of minerals like zinc), avoiding meds like PPIs and NSAIDs, thyroid support/iodine and much more.

This is the support I offer as a nutritionist and it’s wonderful to hear all these doctors talk about all this. As with any chronic health condition it’s a comprehensive approach and very individualized.

My personal experience: Removed one amalgam filling this last September (not very safe removal). Mercury probably irritating/burdening my immune system for 25 or almost 30 years! Also have struggled with systemic Candida, IBS etc. Strong reaction with fatigue, headaches, nausea after removal. Noticed that I had adverse reaction when taking “Coriander” essential oil, which apparently mobilises mercury in the body. Have since stabilizing detox reactions stayed far away from any detox protocols (gluthatione, coriander or chelators). Dont want to burden my body with more mercury or heavy metals than it can handle.

I have shown too much aluminum, too little magnesium and too little calcium and iron on hair analysis (mercury “hidden” in tissue not showing on analysis prior to removal). I had blood tests prior to removal showing too little homocysteine, which I have understood can be a sign of poor detoxing ability in the body. Can someone confirm this?
Also had some problems with my thyroid on the same side as the amalgam filling was. Ultrasound showed some irregularity, but no-one took it seriously medically. How can mercury affect the thyroid?
Also will wait until I have had improvement in digestion, bacterial and microbiome balance in my gut before doing anything about possible detox from heavy metal. Really hope the Heavy Metal Summit will give me more answers. I am very cautious about doing any detox un-assisted, but not sure who I will trust to work with!? There is so much contradictory and confusing information on this topic. Good thing there is a Summit to hopefully raise some of those questions for the betterment of all the “guinea pigs” out there!! It is crazy how some close their eyes to the dangers of handling heavy metals carelessly (dentists, doctors). It is hard for normal people to get the needed help in terms of health issues caused by heavy metals…!!

Marie
Mercury can affect many areas in the body and the thyroid is just one. Here is one paper on amalgams/mercury and thyroid https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22426797 I hope you enjoy the summit and learn a great deal.

Trudy,
May I ask, do you still recommend getting rid of mercury fillings if you have them in your mouth? I have heard that sometimes just the process of getting them out can make you sick. I know there is a biomedical dentist in my area that does claim to be able to remove them safely, but it still frightens me. Any guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, LOUISE Duhamel

Louise
Mercury is toxic and can cause many health issues and many people can’t excrete it. For my clients with anxiety I always recommend safe removal of amalgams/mercury fillings. They do need to be done safely so as not to cause further issues. The IOMT lists guidelines here https://iaomt.org/safe-removal-amalgam-fillings/ These guidelines were not in place when mine were removed and although a lot of this was done much of it wasn’t done!

Thanks so much for posting this information. I will be looking into using NBMI when it’s available in my country. My functional doctor put me through the DMSA urine challenge test (I’ve never been quite the same since), and once I had had all my amalgams removed by a holistic dentist and waited a few weeks, I started chelating using Andy Cutler’s protocol, i.e. I started on 10mg DMSA every 4 hours for 3 days. After battling through 4 “rounds”, I made the decision that pharmaceutical chelators are extremely damaging to my already damaged, exhausted, small, thin body, even done the Andy Cutler way. I can’t begin to tell you how sick I was “on round”. There is no way I will be able to tolerate years of DMSA. According to the DMSA urine challenge test, I have severe mercury and lead poisoning, plus cadmium and nickel levels that are too high. I am in the process of sending off a hair test to the US to get confirmation of the heavy metal toxicity levels (and other minerals).

After the DMSA nightmare, I made the decision to try to chelate naturally, using undenatured whey protein to boost the glutathione levels in my body. I’ve started increasing the whey protein slowly. It will take many years. I am not taking glutathione capsules orally. I also will not do IV glutathione. I have read scary reports of people doing IV DMPS or DMSA along with IV glutathione. I think that is where the glutathione horror stories come from.

The way I understand it, the heavy metal poisoning is a result of glutathione being depleted in my body from being on psychiatric medication for 22 years. This destroyed my immune system. I understand that many pharmaceutical drugs can deplete glutathione levels. The drug that did the worst damage was Xanax (a benzodiazepine). This may be a simplistic way of looking at a complex problem, but I’m hoping that by reversing this process (i.e. increasing my glutathione levels naturally), the metals can slowly chelate out of my body naturally. That being said, however, I am extremely interested in other safe, gentle chelation methods and would like to thank you sincerely for putting this information out there. I would also like to thank you for your blog on benzodiazepines. I have been extremely ill for 12 years because I took Xanax for 8 months. Now I know at last that this poison caused heavy metal poisoning, the symptoms of which are very similar to psychiatric illness, eg. insomnia, anxiety, depression. I have a lot more hideous symptoms like severe hair loss, complete inability to exercise or even move around normally, I am house-bound and have to watch every single thing I do and ingest. In addition, the DMSA has made me extremely sensitive to high thiol foods and my diet is now even more limited. I also have multiple chemical sensitivities, so taking supplements is completely out of the question.

So much for modern medicine – the more I see what happens in doctors’ surgeries and in hospitals, the more horrified I am. It is so-called modern medicine that has stolen 12 years of my life, and still counting.

Karin
Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear what you have been through. I would suspect the benzodiazepine heavy metal combination is not a good thing – likely one reason why we see some people do fine and others not do well with various approaches.

I am in complete support of giving the body the support to detox on it’s own. Dr. Christine Shaffer covers more on this in her interview so be sure to tune in. She talks about sleep, the glymphatic system, liposomal melatonin and much more.

As I said to Karin I’ve been pouring through the transcripts and there is so much info on support for mercury toxicity and the detox process: saunas, broccoli sprouts (due to glutathione boost from sulforaphane), reducing EMF/ELF and microwave exposure, eating organic (to minimize GMO/glyphosate effects on leaky gut and leaky BBB), addressing low zinc/selenium, supporting methylation, supporting the liver and increasing bile production, addressing low stomach acid (needed for bile production and absorption of minerals like zinc), avoiding meds like PPIs and NSAIDs, thyroid support/iodine and much more.

This is the support I offer as a nutritionist and it’s wonderful to hear all these doctors talk about all this. As with any chronic health condition it’s a comprehensive approach and very individualized.

No-one talks about thiol sensitivity (at least not from what I have found by searching the transcripts – I have yet to read through them all)

Karin, I feel your pain. I am also very sensitive to thiol foods. It’s a nightmare eating.
I also did the ACC protocol- they told me to forget about healing the gut first and just forge through the chelation at very low levels. This was the worst experience.
My ND told me to be respectful to my body and to boost your body first and then chelate. Thank goodness I heeded her advice, I am so much better now and am ready to get rid of these metals.

Question is now, how? Hopefully this summit will enlighten all of us.

I love the thought about detoxing naturally, I too, am eager to hear about this!

If you have a thiol intolerance it is due to Mercury and Candida. Completely ignore anyone that says it is due to CBS, SUOX or any other genetic issue.

Some people in the ACC group try to encourage people to not delay chelation, because it can be extremely difficult to heal the gut when too much Mercury is circulating, some try for YEARS, and then come back to chelation after failing realizing that they just wasted all that time, this is a big reason you see people encouraging others to just get going because the Gut is a lot easier to heal once a good portion of the Metals are removed. Having said that, healing the Gut IS possible, and all the admins will encourage you to NOT ignore the Gut and to do your best to keep it under wraps while you chelate.

Someone can certainly try to heal the gut before chelation, and even work on some other things to make themselves stronger, as long as they realize they will likely have limited success, and need to chelate asap after trying since when someone is too toxic that really is the ultimate cure for ALL their Mercury related issues.

stephanie, I am sorry I did not see this until now.
Addressing the gut was a bit of different things.

After having carefully gone through the options, I had decided to go with Dr Yaskos protocol and can’t tell you how much of a benefit it has been even in the early stages of implement(even with all my sensitivities) . Her info is free as she believes that everyone should have access to this information. However, you may want to work with someone on the protocol if you wanted to do this.

Noone should have to push their body through something it is not ready for. This protocol honors that. There are steps involved before allowing your body to fully detoxify. Once you give the body what it needs, it will naturally want to detoxify. That doesn’t mean that its doesnt need a little help with supplements.

If you are interested, she has a website and then her books are online that she puts out there about the protocol- no charge for any of this. She also has a support forum which I absolutely love because it is so supportive and caring. She really puts her love into this and puts into play that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to this problem.

Whatever you decide to do, listen to what your body is telling you. Your body CAN and WILL heal, if you listen to it & honor it.

Unfortunately it is extremely unlikely Whey will help someone detox, we have to remember if Glutathione was any good at all (and everything people that promote it say it is) people would not be ending up the way they do. It is a good idea to boost Glutathione, but people that have a thiol intolerance WON’T be able to tolerate Whey, it is a single thiol that just makes a weak bond with Mercury and so just moves it around and makes people feel worse. I can not tolerate it at all myself. People that want to boost Glutathione can do that by taking Glutamine and Glycine in a 2:1 ratio, note though that many Mercury ill people can also not tolerate Glutamine very well, they need to start slow.

DMSA is generally NOT a good chelator to start with, because it does an excellent job of feeding Candida, and metal toxic people, especially very sick ones, are already suffering from this badly. Also, chelating Lead, which DMSA does very well, will also make a person feel a LOT worse.

Something else to keep in mind is that the ACC method of chelation is not a magic bullet, it can’t take a very sick person and magically make them better, and chelation in any form is just VERY HARD. Some people are so sick they would really do well to address some of the many issues Mercury causes BEFORE they get going with chelation, like very weak adrenals for just one example. Trying to chelate WITHOUT addressing weak adrenals is a recipe for disaster, yet many people do this and wonder why they felt so bad. This is where an experience practitioner can help guide someone. Having said that, some people are very very sick and start chelating and push through the rough time, and do come out the other side and get better, there are many many success stories over the last 20 years with ACC.

One other SAFE option you can look into (DO NOT take Chlorella, Cilantro, or any of the other MANY very poor chelators that will be promoting at the summit that very sick people get much worse with) is Hair Mineral Balancing, which these practitioners believe gets the body to detox on its own. I have seen many success stories with this, but in my opinion the Mercury won’t be leaving the brain without ALA, so someone should make that a long term goal if going this route. To me this is a good option for someone who is extremely toxic and tried chelation and feels they can not handle it. Note though what I mentioned about DMSA, DMPS is much better tolerated overall, and then someone needs to get on low dose ALA after 3 months, all while addressing the many issues Mercury is causing for them. Good healing to you

Jason bullies many members on Cutler’s FB page who come there looking for answers. Instead, they receive his beat-down only because they followed their physician’s instructions without knowing better.
It’s a shame that he behaves so poorly when a person is only looking for answers.

Hehe, not sure you realize how many “Jason’s” there are, at any rate, you definitely have the wrong one here. I would NEVER, EVER blame the PERSON for following ANY Doctor’s advice. As someone who has been damaged by Western Medicine Doctors AND Alternative Medicine Doctors myself, I would never DREAM of criticizing someone else for trusting their Doctor.

NO ONE in the ACC group does this actually so I’m sure you are just trolling here, even IF they were properly informed to “beware” of the many things these Doctors do that harm people and then they still go and do it, it is a natural instinct to trust a Doctor, until you realize you have been damaged by one, then that instinct quickly disappears. Most Metal toxic people HAVE been damaged by Doctors, unfortunately this is especially by the “well-meaning good Doctors” and we all have empathy for anyone else who does as well.

Thank you so much everyone for responding to my post. I’m quite overwhelmed and very grateful! I will definitely be tuning in to the summit. I want to respond to some of the comments.

Being thiol sensitive is the pits. Goodbye broccolli and all that good stuff. Erol, can you tell me what you did to “boost your body first”? The only supplements I seem to be able to handle is Vit C (fairly large amounts seem to be fine), Vit D3, Omega 3 (very high quality and metal tested) and a Probiotic.

I definitely have Candida, and lots of Mercury I’m sure. I suspect I have had heavy metal poisoning for about 10 years. It took over 8 doctors to get the diagnosis. Only the last doctor thought to include that test. It also wasn’t on my radar at all. I thought I had brain damage from the benzo. I think the metals are lodged deep in my tissues and bones now.

I’m also sure my gut needs to be healed, but how? The first Functional Doctor (FD) I saw 2 years ago gave me glutamine powder, but I am sure this converted to glutamate in my body because it caused anxiety, agitation and insomnia. Nearly everything I try causes insomnia.

I did see the glutamine:glycine ratio for raising glutathione on the LN website (not sure if I can mention the name here), so thanks for that too.

I’m also surprised I can tolerate the whey protein and have been confused about that. The whey I am using is really special and helped me quit the last of the psychiatric meds. Without it, this would not have been possible. I can’t recommend the product highly enough. Without it, sleep is not possible.

My adrenals are a mess. I hardly have any cortisol in my body. The second FD gave me hydrocortisone. I did not tolerate it at all! Now I’m eating lots of grapefruit. I’m not sure if it will help. I saw on LN that it also helps to clear the liver detox pathways.

While reading answers above, I realised that in my country (South Africa) there seems to be a distinct shortage of practitioners that really understand chelation, gut healing etc.

Thank you so much for recommending Hair Mineral Balancing. I am looking into it. After DMSA, I tried Zeolite powder. Another disaster. Never again. I will never try chlorella or cilantro either. ALA is also something I’m going to have to try, but not for a while. I need to reduce the metal levels first.

I also realise that the ACC protocol is not an overnight thing, that one could get a lot worse before getting better. But I just don’t have the strength to get through the bad part right now. I feel that I have reached a dead end, hence the whey protein plan to chelate. But now there are 2 other options on the horizon as well (NBMI and Hair Mineral Balancing). Thanks again everyone. I really appreciate it. I’ll be re-reading everything many times. There’s so much more I’d like to say and ask, but I realise this is not a “Help Karin” forum, so probably not the place.

Hi Karin. Well that is great news you can tolerate the whey then and it helps! It never fails, that someone somewhere will be an ‘exemption’ to the normal rule (sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad…), our individual biochemistry likes to override otherwise ‘standard rules’.

Gut healing is fairly complex and individual of course so well beyond what can be gone into in a forum, and as I mentioned somewhere here can be a very very hard task if someone is too metal toxic.

Unfortunate on the Glutamine and quite common, even more so when someone has weak adrenals and has been on Benzos, and this can be a very very big problem, because once they get too weak a person can stop tolerating just about all supplements which makes healing anything much much more difficult. Not sure which dose of HC you started on but for people with very weak Adrenals it need to be very very small! They usually have to start anything very slowly and work up, Adrenal support is definitely no exception and critical usually, Adrenals are another complex and tricky problem to deal with. Grapefruit juice can have a similar effect to Licorice Root, it helps the body utilize the Cortisol that is already there, so it won’t increase the amount of Cortisol but at least helps you to use what you do have (and yes can help with Liver phases). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21896619

It is World-wide not just South Africa, unfortunately there are only about 0.05% of Doctors who have recognized and acknowledged that ignoring a chelators half-life can make people worse and who have found Dr. Cutlers work, all the rest promote weak chelators and/or prescribe them with no reference to their half-lives. Any good Doctor worth their salt knows how to heal a Gut, but not all understand all the complexities involved for sure. If you feel very stuck and would like the guidance of someone who truly understands all these problems (and a lot more) and how to overcome them I am a Health Coach who does just that, maybe Trudy will give you my email if you contact her it seems she is still not currently taking on new clients. Good healing to you.

Many years ago, a biological dentist who then also became a nutritionist, shared that he used whey with mercury toxic patients (together with other nutrients) and saw metals go up in hair analysis and then come down as their symptoms improved.

Hi Karin, I am in much the same predicament as you are, severely mercury toxic and barely able to keep going. Unfortunately I’m still on Diazepam (another Benzo) and Sertraline (or Zoloft, an SSRI). When I try to wean off the Diazepam I get terrible insomnia and feel like my nerves are under severe strain, so I’m very interested in your whey protein: could you tell me what is special about the product you’re using and which brand/where to buy?

Hi Willemien, my apologies. I only saw your question now. Unfortunately the replies don’t seem to be in date order. Not sure if I’m allowed to put forward products on this forum, but the products that helped me wean off the last of my psychiatric meds (which I used trying to recover from the benzo) were from a website called Point of Return. The PoR products helped enormously with everything, especially insomnia. I am now 6 months medication free and doing fine. I still use the PoR products and will continue using them for a while.
Once off the meds, I had my amalgam fillings removed by a holistic dentist. Then I started chelating using DMSA. I tried 2 different protocols (the second one was Cutler), but just got more and more sick. Precious sleep became a thing of the past once again. I started thinking I was on the wrong track and read up on glutathione and decided to up my daily whey protein (Support) amount, as there are people that have used it successfully to chelate metals. There was an improvement but there were still problems (still the aftermath of the DMSA). After a reply from Errol on this forum (who used IMD with DMSA successfully) and more research, I realised that Chris Shade from Quicksilver Scientific made the most sense and started using their IMD product a month ago. My life has once again improved hugely. Sleep started returning after the first dose of IMD and hair loss is slowing down for the first time in 6 years. The debilitating Meniere’s Disease symptoms which I started experiencing are also diminishing (the vertigo and nausea have gone but I still have tinnitus). I’ve also just started on the ClearWay Cofactors, but will have to go slower as this product is a serious detoxer and I’m getting detox reactions. I also have the Quicksilver Vit C with Lipoic Acid and the Liposomal Glutathione. I will be starting these fairly soon, but need to prepare my body first and want to start very slow. 10 years of mercury poisoning has done a lot of damage. I would say the biggest thing I have learned recently is that you absolutely cannot use any chelator/mobiliser without a binder. This is the huge thing missing from the Cutler protocol in my humble opinion. I am also using activated charcoal and bentonite clay for mold toxicity (recently discovered). I’m also considering getting the GI Detox from Bio-Botanical Research. Binders are absolutely critical. It would not surprise me if I have some parasites as well. Not sure whether to get rid of mercury, mold or parasites first, but am starting with the mercury and mold until such time as I have done more research on parasites. I hope that helps.

Karin, I’m sorry, I just realised you’d already answered my question, I missed it earlier. Thank you very much for taking the time to give me such an extensive reply. I will certainly look into the PoR products. I’m having difficulty quitting my psych meds, especially insomnia is a problem. And the psych meds are interacting with supplements I’m trying to help heal my body so I really would like to get rid of them. You’re obviously on as difficult a journey to health and wellbeing as I am. Perhaps the Detox Dudes and Superman Diet sites might be of some use to you, especially where parasites are concerned. Thanks again and the best of luck to you.

Trudy, please forgive me if this is inappropriate for me to ask Jason if I can discuss something with him off group? If it is okay for me to provide an email address for him I would greatly appreciate it, or however you recommend my doing so. Thank you kindly, Olive

Hi Olive. Proof my memory is improving, after I seen this post I went and looked back at the Gaba Calm article on this site from 2 years and sure enough there is an “Olive” there that I conversed with, is that you? If yes, I hope your niece is doing better?

I think Trudy must be very busy and probably does not want people emailing her for my email (I should not have made that suggestion my bad). You will notice that my name in THIS post is hyperlinked, if you click on my name (if this works…) it will bring you to an article (I have not had time to write articles for my own site!) and you will see the 2nd comment under the article is one of my posts from a couple of years ago. Here you will find more information about me, what I specialize in and near the bottom of the post my email address. Hope you are doing okay.

I have gone through a lot of chelation past 3 years and I would agree in part with what Jason has said. For me, I tolerated chlorella, glutathione, dmsa, edta, ala, etc. There may have been some redistribution but I was getting it out. NBMI seems promising though. Hopefully it becomes available in the states.

Have you heard of Shades and Quicksilver Scientific? He has the mercury tri test that is not a challenge test but looks at the ratio of mercury in blood versus urine to see how much your oipes are clogged up due to mercury poisoning…he has a line of products as well with liposomal delivery…

I have taken IMD by biopure with dmsa to a good overall effect and liposomal vit c has been great too.

We are all different but we need to be careful that our glutathione system is working right before chelating too much. This one folks is a marathon not a sprint.

And that is just the crux of the problem, and why there is so much conflicting information on the internet. Some people “seem” to do “ok” with weak chelators like Chlorella, Glutathione, etc (DMSA & ALA are strong chelators), and many do not, but because some do, and the heavily flawed studies also say they are “ok”, their flawed use continues, while the people being damaged are just thrown aside.

There will ALWAYS be redistribution, that is unavoidable. The goal is to MINIMIZE it, which minimizes damage, and THAT is what 99.95% of all the so-called “Mercury Experts” including Shady and all the good well-meaning Doctors are doing wrong.

Some people have found IMD to help a little, some have found it harmful. No one even knows what form of Sulfur he is using in it because it is a very expensive (surprise!) propriety formula where he has never disclosed the actual ingredients, and thus, no one evens knows its true effectiveness, half-life or other relevant critical information about it

Thanks so much Jason for all the info! In my state of mercury-induced cognitive decline, I had a thought: If glutathione is only a partial chelator (single thiol and only moves the mercury around), does it move it into the bloodstream at all? If it does, then wouldn’t adding a binder (like, for example, silica) aid the second half of the chelation process by binding with the mercury and escorting it out of the body via the colon? (I haven’t tried silica, only years ago for hair loss. It was one of the rare supplements I did not react to.)

Also, in case it helps anyone, I have found that lemons help me quite a lot. Not the juice so much, but more the pith (white stuff) and skin. I’ve taken to chopping it up and putting it on salads etc. I do enjoy the taste of lemons, but to some this may seem like a strange idea. The lemon pith and peel also help me sleep. It also noticeably lifted some of the brain fog when I first started eating it. I felt I had quite a bit more mental clarity. When the lemons worked so well, I bought some rather expensive Modified Citrus Pectin (powder in a tin), but my body did not like that at all. More wasted money and more insomnia. But the lemons I can highly recommend.

Karin
Thanks for sharing your lemon pith results and that modified citrus pectin didn’t work for you (may I ask what brand and why it didn’t work?). Glutathione and silica products like Biosil are covered in the summit interviews.

I’ve also been pouring through the transcripts and there is so much info on support for mercury toxicity and the detox: saunas, broccoli sprouts (due to glutathione boost from sulforaphane), reducing EMF/ELF and microwave exposure, eating organic (to minimize GMO/glyphosate effects on leaky gut and leaky BBB), addressing low zinc/selenium, supporting methylation, supporting the liver and increasing bile production, addressing low stomach acid (needed for bile production and absorption of minerals like zinc), avoiding meds like PPIs and NSAIDs, thyroid support/iodine and much more.

This is the support I offer as a nutritionist and it’s wonderful to hear all these doctors talk about all this. As with any chronic health condition it’s a comprehensive approach and very individualized.

Now if the experts could just agree on the best and safest chelation approach we’d be good. This is an area I’ve had questions about for a long time and have heard pros and cons on many approaches. Clearly what works for one person may not work for another.

I would encourage you to watch this video from Boyd Haley on the limitations of chelators such as DMSA, EDTA, DMPS. I did much better when I added the binder IMD to the mix to get rid of it due to the single thiol issue. OSR/NBMI will be better when it comes out with the double thiol.

Jay
Glad to hear the IMD binder helped you. As you know this is a Quicksilver product created by Chris Shade: Intestinal Metal Detox (sharing here for other readers)

Thanks for sharing these youtube links – both are excellent. And yes Boyd Haley is a great man and this NBMI product needs to be approved – hopefully the phase 2 human trials will confirm what they found in phase 1.

Hello Jay, Trudy, I saw the video from Hayley and was really intrigued by it. He talks about the chelator upping glutathione and that is what chelates the mercury out. He says that an individual with normal glutathione levels will naturally chelate mercury. This I find very interesting.
I have been working on my body for a few years, getting rid of yeast, lyme,etc. It seems as though my body is healthy but my adrenals still struggling. My glutathione levels are good, as are my other markers for detoxification. Does anyone know- would I still be able to detoxify any mercury I’ve had over the years if my adrenals are down or would it just be not so efficient? I’ve been struggling getting the adrenals up.

Hey Jason,
Thank you! I am eager to see if he has adrenal support. I have a feeling once I get rid of the thiol sensitivity, that my adrenals will be ok or a lot better. I know Shades protocol has products to address this before even chelating.

Thanks for posting the Youtube links which are very interesting and will give a lot of folks (including me) hope. And also extremely interesting that you had success using a binder with the pharmaceutical chelators! Definitely something to look into further. Many thanks.

Hi Trudy, I only saw your reply today. My apologies for that. I used a modified citrus pectin product from EcoNugenics called PectaClear or PectaSol (or something similar). Unfortunately it caused insomnia, as most things do, and it also seemed to ramp up the metal toxicity symptoms, or at least that is how it felt. Bearing in mind that I have been ill since I took Xanax (Alprazolam) in 2007 and 2008, I really don’t want to bad-mouth this product. I think it’s my body that is the problem. I gave the MCP to my father-in-law, who has an aggressive skin cancer. He does not have any side effects from it. Thanks for all the interesting information!

Just need to offer a cautionary view point from personal experience. I took the NMBI years ago when it was OSR. I didn’t realize I was sulfur sensitive but really started reacting to it and had to stop it. $180 down the drain. I would caution anyone with thiol/sulfur issues to stay clear of NMBI unless it is somehow safer now than then due to some sort of new processing.

Thanks for sharing your experience Rita. Since I wrote this blog I’ve been reading more about OSR and even though Dr. Haley says he did not see adverse reactions with OSR, since it is a sulfur-based product it would likely cause a reaction with someone with thiol/sulfur issues. I assume NBMI would cause similar issues. Unfortunately there is no one-size fits all.

Would you share how quickly you started reacting to it and what kinds of reactions you had?

Thanks for answering, Trudy, and for asking about my reactions. I began reacting in just several days as I recall. My first reaction was a sort of severe brain fog as I remember. I’d wake up in the morning and not know what day it was, what was to happen that day, etc. That had never happened to me before. It sort of scared me. Next came the fatigue. Brain fog and extreme fatigue are two of my usual side effects with many things. Then I started feeling crazy, like I seriously needed to be committed somewhere. At that point I decided it wasn’t worth it and stopped the OSR. The side effects stopped after 3 or 4 days.

Stephanie,
I am just staying away from it as much as I can through diet and supplements. Foods and supplements with thiol make me crazy. I have very weak adrenals and a multitude of other problems, the latest of which is rapidly progressing neuropathy for which I have presently begun IVIG infusions. Yep, Medicare is covering it thanks to a doc who managed to get me a CIDP dx. I am 70 and may never see anything close to good health this side of heaven. I just press on and trust there is some purpose in it all. Being on a fixed income leaves little money to
try anything Medicare won’t cover. My best to you. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Haritaki is new to me and I’m intrigued. I wish article like this would include links to the research! I did find this paper: “This plant is used externally in wound healing, fungal infections, inflammations of the mucous membrane of the mouth, and internally as a rejuvenative, astringent, purgative, stomachic, and laxative. It is useful in asthma, piles, and cough” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3902605/ No mention of mercury.

Dr. Jay Davidson mentioned Haritaki in his older summit. Old Ayurveda detox remedy for boosting Glutathione? I am using that together with manjista and nutritional yeast in organic joghurt before bed for liver detox. Manjista is for lymph flow.I also like to add capsules of LiverCare, resveratrol and curcumin. Tray to avoid turmeric for now,because of higher oxalate levels. Hmm. Nobody is mentioning that heartburn,specially 1-3 am, when liver is working hard, can be from moving toxins. Toxins don’t live liver only downstream, thru bile ducks,but also they travel,in my observation, upstream. Gaseous mercuri and solvents? Ending in stomack acid and causing stronger burn then high/low stomack acid. It is your body telling you that you need to eat something,specially fiber( binder). Cholesteramine and activated charcoal are not helping in that mater. They work more downstream.

Hi, Haritaki is an ingredient in the ClearWay Cofactors, a product of Quicksilver Scientific, which is part of their mercury detox protocol. This is an excellent detoxer but you have to start slow if you are very toxic. ClearWay Cofactors is also part of the QS pretox protocol, preparing the body for the mercury detox and is also used during the actual detox. It helps to clear the detoxification pathways. Another excellent QS product in my opinion. I use everything with a binder now, including this product, with good results so far.

Spicy,greasy foods usually make you heartburn 11-12 pm. First thought,take Antacid. But now they know that one glass water is having similar relief . PPI and Antacids are way to cancer.
Or gallbladder surgery at minimum. 15 doctors and no one told me that low/high stomack acid is giving you same symptoms….Real culprit behind, is low buffer. Stagnant,congested liver. No liver bile to neutralize strong acids from stomack after dissolving foods.
Doctors will not tell you also that most gallbladder intrahepatic stones originates in liver.
Gallbladder surgery is so profitable. Why is body making cholesterol stones in liver? Many reasons,but my was that i lost to fast 50 punds in short time. Not enough fat in my diet for production of bile. When you lose weight to fast ,all the toxins from fat tissues,must be stored somewhere because liver is overburdened. One of most likely places is body filter( liver).
I think,evolutionary,body will start to produce useless for other things,bad cholesterol to trap toxins in liver canals. Liver can be congested 60% and still giving you normal enzime leves in blood test. Present liver test is made around 1950!!!! England Health Care System is traying to change that a little now. 33% of US population have NAFTLD.
1-3 am liver is doing recycling. Detox. But if you are low energy,missing nessesary nutritions for Phase 1 and 2 and got new toxins from yesterday, what is going to happen? Some of the ways body is signaling you that someting is wrong,is shifting more toxins to stomack acid?
Scientist are found toxins everywhere, nose excretion, tears…..but not in stomack acid?
Is it that,maybe, a really culprit for esophageal cancer,and not backfire from stomack acid?
I am still detoxing,and today morning,after super hot shower,I can feel metal taste in my mouth
(Ex machinist). Sometimes chemicals to.
Liver is getting Biosludge slowly out…..
Could’t find enything enough good for me on the market( supplement graveyard),so I am mixing my own fiber blend. Pretty good.
Sorry for my crapy english..

Jacqueline
I’m sorry to hear and do hope he’s doing better now. Would you mind sharing how much he used and how quickly it affected him. This will help folks who may decide to trial NBMI in the future.

Interesting thought Jacqueline. To add to that, what I have read is that candida overgrowth is really a result of too much mercury. The candida proliferates to try to control the abundance of mercury. It is no wonder people react to sulphur if it can cause such an overgrowth in candida. Are we reacting to the sulfur, the mercury, the yeast, or all three? Guess the best idea is to somehow get the mercury out safely and as painlessly as possible. Do trust your son is doing better now that he is no longer on the OSR.

Hi Trudy, you mentioned earlier that you knew a biological dentist/nutritionist who uses whey protein and other supplements to detox mercury. Just wondering- was he in Brisbane, Australia? If so, I went through his rather strict protocol before having my 2 root canal teeth removed. I’m continuing with a low and slow approach with ionizing foot baths, supplements, saunas and recently colonics and coffee enemas. Took me a long time to decide to try the last two, but I have to say they are good. I now take binders after the enemas as I get a headache and pain in my infected sinuses afterwards. I’m assuming the detox is continuing after treatment.
I do foot baths on my child who is on the autism spectrum, and he loves them. I was skeptical at first but the stuff that comes out is amazing, and simply cannot be from the element in the water. You see little pieces of black stuff which dissolves when touched, then smells strongly of metal.

Josephine
Heavy metals require a comprehensive detox approach. Starting with cleaning up the diet is a good plan but adding in chelation and binding products, drainage products, sauna and more is needed

Josephine
My expertise is not in heavy metal detox and I suggest working with a practitioner who is an expert in this area. Check out the speakers from the Heavy Metals Summit and check out their blogs and books and find someone to work with. The host Wendy Myers has an excellent blog and the co-host Christine Schaffner has an excellent weekly newsletter.

SL
I am not familiar with the Wilking Protocol (http://www.mercuryfreekids.org/mercury101/2017/2/18/the-wilking-protocol) but at quick glance I like the goal and feel this should be a goal whatever approach is used: “The Wilking Protocol asks that you detox every morning of every day. This means you have a bowel movement 1st thing every morning. Having a bowel movement means you are detoxing.”

I have been reading his material and it makes more sense than most out there on heavy metal healing….he stresses taking in the essentials to give the body the tools to detox on its own. Several of the supplements I had already been doing, some for years, but the rest of food for thought. It has been the only protocol that as helped me so far…I can not do DMSA; I had a serious reaction.

It does seem strange that they are not charging for the “drug” https://emeramed.com/early-access/ “The treatment: Currently, we can offer a 14-day treatment x 300mg per day. The treatment length and dosing are determined by the length of the Phase 1 and 2a clinical studies that have been performed. If this is enough depends on the individual patient – some require several treatments, typically with 28 days in between. There is no charge for the drug, but a cost of €600 ($750) for insurance-Shipping-Administration per two-week-treatment.”

I also don’t see Irminix in pubmed so I’m not sure of the status of the clinical trial

I do see this on the site here https://emeramed.com/about/
“Irminix® is a lipophilic, di-thiol metal chelator, and antioxidant. Orphan Drug Designation was received for the treatment of mercury toxicity in the EU and US in 2012. Pre-clinical safety studies, a Phase 1 trial, and a Phase 2a trial have been performed. The Company is working to obtain marketing authorization in the EU and the US for the treatment of mercury toxicity.”

Hi Trudy,
father of 3, Heavy metal toxic and highly motivated ,as we all are.
Do you know any more news of the NBMI phase 2 trials in the USA?
do we know which countries might be easiest to get NBMI access? My cousin lives in Switzerland, might be able to go see him..

Does anyone have any reports of people using NBMI without any side affects? All I can find are numerous strong side affects as reported on the Andy Cutler protocol FB posts and chelation yahoo groups. Not finding too many fans of NBMI. But I believe Dr Haley is sincere and I per the research I have done, I personally believe in NBMI. I just dont know how people like me that are Hg toxic and sensitive to many things will be able to tolerate a double thiol compound like NBMI

I would like to know the same thing, Parker. Except I cannot even tolerate the foods with thiols in them, much less any chelators. I would love to be able to eat eggs, broccoli, asparagus etc. I love all foods and can have none.

I have not read any of the forms yet. I know there is mention on Amy Yaskos discussion form, HHI.
I tried the Thiol abstinence for 48 hours and I had a big increase in my symptoms. I added some thiols back in my diet today and already I feel better, strange as I really thought thiols would be a problem fo me. pls let me know if anyone finds anything on NBMI

Just heard Dr. Klinghardt say that NBMI passed FDA trial #1 and #2 but there is no money to get through Phase 3 trials and Boyd Haley has now retired. Unless someone with money will fund the third trial, NBMI will not be coming to America.

Lynn
Oh dear this is not good news. May I ask where you heard him say this and if was live/current i.e. not an old recording? If you have a link to share that would be great. Either way we have to do something about this. I’ll reach out to MINDD in Australia and some of my other connections too

Look at pic. 6. NBMI does not increase excertion of Hg, and it does increase concentration of Hg in tissues (some other pic). It is good to treat accute Hg toxicity but not in a manner of higher excertion. So, I see now why there is money to fund the research. Simply there is No hope to make Money on it as it works on accute toxicity as stated in research.

Vic is a troll. Studies have to start at a low dose & work up. So yeah, a small dose in a short amount of time might not show anything significant- as with this study. The study he posted is not from the recent FDA clinical trials either. I don’t know who is behind all the internet nonsense on NBMI & Haley but it sure smells of desperation (find a lot of ad hominems & science taken out of context). I’ve only heard great things from REAL people with ACTUAL experience using or studying this. It’s still moving forward as far as I know.

Thank you so much for sharing this and what great news! I thought I had signed up for notifications but just did so again. Also sharing the website again https://emeramed.com/ since it now has a ton of new updates. It had looked like nothing was happening but clearly it’s moving ahead. Also sharing a link to the Feb 2019 newsletter https://emeramed.com/emeramed-newsletter-2019-02-february/ (it looks like it’s the first one)

I don’t understand why people think that only one pill is the solution for everything. I think that people have bigger fish to fry. Before you go and start brain Detoxing, you should test something beforehand. Liver.
About everybody’s toxicity. Prevention is everything but people wants to be only happy and go shopping.. Specialy in United States. What DETOX? I don’t know how long this was hiding between Swiss borders but every human should know this simple Test. Usually I can’t listen to Dr Tom O’Bryan and his talk about gluten,even if he is bringing always something new. Nearly I missed this very important news about Liver toxicity.

One Chirurg or Chiropraktiker must be bored and actually looked how human body function. This test is one of first, performed in Swiss Mountain Clinic for Liver Detox by their doctors. Why is this knowledge not spreaded outside Switzerland’s borders? Doctors can’t make big profits? First 7-8 minutes of Video are about this new simple test from Switzerland.

I’ve been GF for a good 15yrs (actually periods for lost my life), grain free the last 4 until recently I’ve allowed rice again… I’ve done everything mentioned in this video- none of it is news to me. Food is a trigger to underlying issues, not the root issue. Eating GF is a huge help but we were meant to be able to eat some grains (although not poisoned with glyphosate etc). I do believe MBNI is a great puzzle piece and I wouldn’t dismiss so quickly but as you sort of point out, nothing is a quick fix. When It comes to heavy metal removal (especially mercury), it seems like there isn’t a better/safer choice than this molecule!

Oxalates and metals:
“Heavy metals and things like high free copper and manganese deficiency in the cells. Oxalate love grabbing metals and minerals. So when you have an oxalate overload you will often see heavy metals toxicity, high free copper and manganese deficiency just to name a few. Andy Cutler was right but he was also wrong. He stated that you detox metals by the use of ALA (alpha lipoic acid) which is right. ALA is a cofactor on the glyoxylate metabolic process. Imagine oxalate as kitchen magnets. They are chelators of metals and minerals. So this oxalate sitting in damaged tissues and organs collect heavy metals you would normally dump. ALA is one of the components of this process that removes the oxalate and by removing the oxalate it in turn removes metals. And it also removes minerals like high free copper that do not make it to the cell wall because of the oxalate overload. So this is where he was wrong. It is actually removing the oxalate that have the heavy metals and minerals like high free copper bonded to the oxalate”.
With regard to the R-ALA, referr to this MTHFRsupport.com article: Understanding Sulfation and Oxalate mthfrsupport.com/…/understanding-sulfation-and-oxalate .—

From the net:
Oxalic acid is used by industry to leach rare earth elements from ore bodies. The rare earths are used in electronics such as cell phones. Rare earths are not presently produced in the United States; China produces 90 percent or more of the rare earths in the world. By producing oxalic acid domestically, it may be possible to profitably extract rare earth elements in the U.S., which is important for national security, Kawatra said.

Everything Americaner do is for profit. One way or another. Mostly.
Many people are just confused with gigantic missinformations. When you are sick, you will tray everything. And that isn’t best way to save time and suffering. So, cut the cheese….
Remeber, heavy metals are just one part of the problem. The more heavy metals you have, the bigger is problem. Not so with toxic chemicals. More powerfull and dangerous in my opinion.
Thats from ex Machinist.
Somethimes even smaller amount is more dangerous then big one. And millions of compounds which nobody’s is going to test for synergy.
If you have mouthful taste of metals( when detoxing liver), Pectasol isn’t going to help you there.
Mix Charcoal House Detox 1600 with Heiltropfen Zeolite Clinoptilolite ( only two brands of Zeoilite are good on the market,cited by Dr Klinghardt). I tried this one. Very very negatively charged. Most heavy metals are positively charged. Big problem are mercury vapors. They are Zero (0) charged, accordingly to Dr Boyle).
I mix Charcoal and Zeolite together in 10 oz clear glass bottle with water.
They are both negatively charged and will try to separate after some time, when vibration is present( driving or on wash machine?). I am using clear glass bottle for this now. Tainted glass contains heavy metals (positiv charged?) I am looking to find whitch plastic bottles are not prone to static electricity. Do not mix this blend with plant fibers or seaweed binders. Zeolite will absorb bitters from them, what in my opinion is bad thing. They become sweet. I mix them in separate binder. Most binders on the market are useless for me. I don’t have financial interes her. Just FYI. I trayed cheaper ingredients and they are just not cutting in.

And yes, Marinko! you are totally right about Americans. It’s first about money and then about people. That’s for majority. The few exceptions confirm the rule.
Also very true about too much confusing information. One must dedicate a lot of time to read, understand and select what makes most sense.
Thank you.

Posted today in comments under Article about Stroke by Dr Mercola. But info is good for her to, I think. “If I may recommend Albion Di-Magnesium Malate. “Prescribed for Life” brand is good. Bulk. 2 tsp mixed in bottle of Lakewood Organic Tart Cherry Juice.
That Juice isn’t made from procesed Concentrate. It will give you better results. Liver is filtering blood, 1 Quart every second. Cleaner Liver, better job done, less clots in blood. Of course, I also use plenty of fiber binder, so toxins from liver bile aren’t going to be recycled 19 times, impairing detoxification. Some toxic chemicals move free thru the body.
You can use many other things to rev up liver. Even stronger ones. But this mix is mellow.
But I mentioned Di-Magnesium Malate specially her, because now, they give patients with Multiple-sclerosis, both Magnesium and Malic Acid. It is also used to treat Fibromyalgia and cronic fatigue syndrome. It also used in cell metabolism and the derivation of adenosine triphosphate ( ATP). Some are saying that malic acid is efficient metal (lead and aluminium) chelator. But I think is more effective in disolving Oxalates, which like to bind to heavy metals, as a kitchen magnet. R-Lipoic Acid disolves Oxalates to. Malic Acid is found in apples, cranberries….Very very sour tasting.
Of course You can use Lakewood Organic Cranberrie Juice, but right now, I am on Oxalate diet.
Interesting is also that Malic acid is one of components in getting NBMI cristals (Dr Boyds Mercury chelator) if I am correct?
